Large menu, but if it's your first time, you gotta go for the chicken & waffles combo. Busy spot, so be prepared to wait. Servers are friendly too! Make sure you go there feeling hungry!

Irina Krysella

Never knew chicken & waffles (best waffles by far) could compliment each other so well . Order the mac & cheese on the side as well , it's so freaking good.

Mohamed AlGowaifly

You will never go wrong with any order "Fried chicken and waffle",their portions are huge,and you feel the friendly atmosphere .it's better to have a backup T-shirt,you will smell like a fried chicken

Lee Diaz

Go with the classic 2-piece with waffles . Don't skip out on the grits or greens. And see if you can sit in Mama's section... she's a bit mean but warms up quickly and will treat you like family.

Obama came here! The chickens great - get the thigh wings and drumsticks. Breast can be kind of dry as expected from breast. Mac n cheese was nice too! AND they have fresh orange juice !

Chris Cookson

This was the Roscoe's location where Obama famously ordered Chicken n' Waffles for everyone at the place!! The food is just as awesome as any of the other locations!

Quivan Adames

Robert Gibbs

Been coming here for 18 yrs. #18 is my favorite with a side if eggs , cheese & onions . Washing it down with the sunrise! Robgspot's Choice

Global Highlander

Eschew all of the butter and about 75% of the syrup . Chicken and waffles make for a great quick meal here.

Carla Foster

Best chicken in town ! The greens and chicken chili aren't bad either!

vincent iulianello

miss elle, the best server there , she is in her 80's and as sharp as a tac she remembers us every time and her greetings come with hugs and kisses for everyone, she recomends what to eat

Tony Wallace

Obviously the fried chicken strips with hotsauce dipped in maple syrup is the bomb. The greens also very tasty.

Justin Ordoveza

I love the chicken gizzards here, nice and crispy which goes well with grits and eggs .

Paul T.

The waffles are the small grid variety and have some enchanting magic spices which make them delicious.

William Woods

Great place to eat it's all good. Not a whole lot frills but real good food.

JP Chua

#13 with a side of cornbread . The sweet tea is the perfect compliment to a good ol fashioned southern supper

Pocket Sun

Large portions ! First time to try hot water cornbread , it tasted strange. Don't get the Jean's Delight. Chicken & waffles are good. Waffles are very soft.

AMW

#18 Fried chicken , butter and a side of waffle . Barack-approved.

Queen ???? J

The service is great. Feels like your at Aunt Judy house...come on in baby and I will fry u up some chicken .

Kenny Liao

Get the half chicken with 2 waffles ... add a side of mac & cheese and rice & gravy and you'll have plenty to share for 2 people.

John Reyes

If you're hungry, try the Herb's Special; 1/2 chicken , gravy and waffles ! ????

Raul Guerrero

Tanya Smiley

See if you can figure out how they get the tea and lemonade to stay separated in the glass when you order that drink???

Brett Friedman

I'm not huge on fried chicken , but these are the best waffles I have ever had in my life.

Rebecca Rogers

Beware that if you eat chicken and waffles here on a hot day, you will be sweating butter and chicken grease the rest of the day. Worth it? HELLS YEAH.

President Obama makes an unscheduled stop at Roscoe's to greet diners and order an early dinner . Read more

Where else can you find authentic grits , greens, chicken livers ? With a side of gravy ? Seriously, where?

Chicken and waffles ... amazingly amazing. I get the number 18: Leg or thigh and a waffle with an extra thigh on the side and it's enough food for me.

Andrea Garrett

Waffles are amazing! Try the sweet peach tea !

Blake Meier

Make sure to order some Mac and cheese .

Bo Young

Think you can eat half of a chicken with 2 buttery waffles ? I can't!

Get a thigh and waffle with a side of gravy and mac & cheese . Pour syrup liberally over the waffle and dip in gravy . Sinful, but thank me later.

Mary Kate Carroll

Chicken delicious! Waffles are so tasty!

Araceli Villanueva

Best chicken and waffles I've ever tasted! Get the Obama special!

Andrew Weisz

The "Country Boy " is amazing! I would never think that Fried Chicken AND Waffles was a great choice together.

Rafael Ochoa

This location has a parking lot , which means it should be easier to find a parking spot (if you're lucky).

Sarah A

Please believe the hype! The chicken was everything!

Lears Fool

Pretty good. To be honest, not that impressed and I'm a huge Chicken and Waffles fan.
